Hi All
I worked in Ireland from 1987 to end Jan 2016. I have worked in UK since then.
In December 2020 I applied to make voluntary PRSI contributions as I believed Brexit meant my contributions in UK would not contribute towards my Irish state pension eligibility. My intention is to retire in a EU country in the near future and want to ensure I have full EU state pension.
I received a rejection from Dept of Social Protection in Jan 2021 saying “you are currently covered by social insurance in another EU Member State/country with EU bilateral agreement”
However I am now reading contradictory information on this. Has anyone any experience/understanding of the real situation ?
